Kenneth Lee Campbell
July 31, 1936 - February 1, 2022

Kenneth Lee Campbell age 85, passed away Tuesday, February 1, 2022 at his home in Cedar Vale.
Kenny was born to Ira Marine and Fola Margaret (Shaff) Campbell on July 31, 1936 at his family home in Sedan, KS.
Kenny attended Cedar Vale Schools. After graduating, he went to work for John Murphy farming and ranching, where he met Shirley Ann Punches. They married on July 31, 1958. He continued working as a ranch hand for various places, Chapman/Barnard and Clyde Lowery Ranches. During this time, they had two boys, Lowery Dean and Wesley Gean. A brief move to Georgia brought them back to Anthony, KS, where Kenny continued his farming and ranching.
Later in life, Kenny found a new passion, driving a truck and continued this path for many years, being only known as "Cow Daddy" to some. Moving back to Cedar Vale in 2015, he soon lost his wife, Shirley, in 2016. Needing a place to fit in, he started working for Friendship Meals, delivering meals over 100 miles daily, he truly enjoyed visiting with others along the way. Kenny loved going to rodeos, watching his grandsons in their activities, and playing with his great-granddaughters.
Kenny is survived by three sisters, Louise Burdette, Janie Basler, and Maxine Greggs; Four brothers Mike, Ron, Chet, and Bob Campbell; One son, Lowery Dean and wife, Donna of Braman, OK; One grandson, Cody and wife, Michaela of Braman, OK; Two great granddaughters, Chloe and Wrenley, along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
